Chapter 671: CTCC
Great Wall Motors at this auto show, it can really be said that it is the most eye-catching Tianchao automobile manufacturer in addition to BYD, and the reason is very simple, that is, they brought two shocking SUV cars.
In the previous life, Great Wall launched their Haval SUV last year, and it was not clearly called the H series, and the Great Wall was not well-known in China at that time, especially in the field of family passenger cars.
At that time, when people mentioned Great Wall Motors, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is the Great Wall pickup trucks that are occasionally seen on the road, as for the field of family passenger cars, it seems that there are two CUVs, that is, the earliest Great Wall Racing Shadow and Great Wall Saifu.
But to be honest, those two products really inherit the essence of the older generation of products in my country's automobiles, that is, stupid and simple, with many flaws, diesel engines, the body is chaotic when driving, and black smoke is emitted......
Therefore, the impression left by Great Wall Motors on people before this year was not very deep, but at this year's Beijing Auto Show, Great Wall Motors can really be said to be a stunning appearance.
The first Great Wall Haval H1 was launched, which is a hard-core off-road vehicle, which was a car designed by themselves before they turned to Jin Xiaoqiang for help, and it was actually a copycat of a Japanese product, but because the Japanese car was not well-known at home and abroad, not many people knew about it.
But this Haval H1 undoubtedly leaves a very deep impression, the appearance is very beautiful, and because of the help of Huayang Power, the workmanship of this car can be said to be much more refined than the previous life.
And the most important thing is that they have received a lot of help from Huayang Power, especially in terms of the powertrain of this car, not only the gasoline engine provided by Huayang Power but also the 4AT transmission.
You must know that in terms of engine and transmission research and development, in the last life, Great Wall can be said to be the most criticized enterprise among all private independent brands, and they are really reluctant to invest money in this area.
The original Great Wall Haval H series has been produced for several generations. The most impressive thing is actually his diesel engine, and on the gasoline engine, they are still using the old nose of the Japanese Mitsubishi produced by Dongan, and as for the transmission, it is needless to mention. I always used a five-speed manual transmission, and it was not until later that I introduced a few 4AT transmissions from Aisin, but it was not a complete technology introduction, and it was always imported.
Therefore, at that time, there were many consumers who were inclined to the Great Wall brand, and finally had to give up Great Wall products because of the transmission and engine, and finally switched to other brands.
But in this life. Because Jin Xiaoqiang has a stake in the Great Wall, it can be said that the Great Wall has made great progress in their shortcomings.
In terms of engine, they have 2.0L and 2.4L naturally aspirated gasoline engine versions introduced from Huayang Power, and the transmission is also from Huayang Seiko six-speed manual and 4AT, so that the technical content of their products has been improved a lot, and the manufacturing cost has decreased a lot.
In recent years, there are many consumers who love SUV models, but they are entangled and have not enough money on hand. The two SUV models launched by Great Wall can be said to just make up for the gap in this low-end SUV market.
The Haval H1 is a hard-core SUV model, and the Haval H2 is the Haval H6 that Jin Xiaoqiang directly scooped over the great success of the Great Wall in the future. It is an urban SUV.
The appearance of both cars is excellent, and the power configuration is ordinary, but the most important thing is that they belong to SUVs, you must know that in China, in the price range of 100,000 to 130,000, there has never been a real SUV car.
However, there are not a few consumers who like SUV cars in the market, and the emergence of these two cars just makes up for the gap in SUV models in this price range. …,
So under such a premise, it is difficult for the Great Wall's Haval series to become popular even if it is not popular.
A few days after the auto show. Not only is Huayang Power performing hotly, but several other private independent brands have also relied on their own products with different strengths, and each has ushered in its own good start, and has achieved good results.
In this way, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, this Beijing Auto Show. It is very different from the Beijing Auto Show that I participated in in my previous life.
The Beijing Auto Show he participated in in his previous life can be attributed to the auto show in which foreign-funded car companies won big victories and made crazy money, and the Beijing Auto Show he participated in in this life can be said to be an auto show in which the car companies of the Celestial Dynasty are fully vigorous.
Not only Huayang Power is outstanding, but several other private enterprises have also performed well at this year's auto show, and even the bosses and seconds of FAW and SAIC, the two state-owned enterprises, have also made great moves.
Seeing the prosperity of its own brand, FAW plans to hurry up and develop its own brand, while SAIC is secretly laughing, because their Roewe has already said to the exhibition organizer that it will become the finale of this auto show!
Now that domestic cars are so popular, if their Roewe is scooped out, then they must not be sold out directly?
Several major domestic car companies are playing their own ideas, but Jin Xiaoqiang's main energy at this time is no longer focused on this auto show, after the first few days of attention, he feels that this auto show, there is nothing worthy of his attention.
The next thing he needs to focus on is how to get the domestic touring car championship first.
In the past few days, he has been talking about this issue with the relevant event organizers of the Tianchao Automobile Association, and Huayang Power will participate in some international events next year, but it is not very popular in domestic motorsports, so Jin Xiaoqiang hopes to build the motorsports frame of the Tianzhao before this.
The development of automobiles in the Celestial Empire is relatively late, so people are not very keen on motorsports, domestic racing has actually been engaged in for several years, but the degree of attention has not been very high, of course, this is also related to the lack of well-known large enterprises in China, as well as well-known racing drivers.
After all, before the emergence of Huayang Power, it has always been German, Japanese and American cars that dominate the automobile market of the Celestial Empire, and there are not many people who have cars.
But now with the development of people's living standards, especially the increase in the number of people with cars, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that it is time to develop automobile events, after all, this is also very conducive to the development of national automobile culture and the popularization of automobile culture knowledge.
What he wants to do is the most intuitive CCC that people know at present, that is, the National Automobile Venue Championship, after all, compared with more abstract go-karts, F1, F2 and other racing cars, this kind of touring car is more acceptable to the common people of the Celestial Empire, because these are production cars, similar to what they see on the street.
In the original history, the National Automobile Venue Championship was not renamed the Celestial Touring Car Championship until 2009, and now Jin Xiaoqiang is like a step ahead of the birth of this event, making this event more formal and more attractive.
Now Huayang Power has become a well-deserved No.1 automobile manufacturing enterprise in the Celestial Empire, and it is the object of attention of the central leaders.
If any other private enterprise makes such a request, the Chao Automobile Association can completely scoop out the attitude of the official, ignore them, or push them, kick the ball, anyway, as long as it is not a foreigner or a joint venture, not a state-owned enterprise, our attitude is like this. …,
But in the face of Huayang Power, a private enterprise, they don't dare, after all, Jin Xiaoqiang is a world-renowned automobile design master, he can say two words casually in the industry, which can put the Tianchao Automobile Association under great pressure, and even a casual sentence can make many officials of the Tianchao Automobile Association lose their hats.
This is only through folk influence, not to mention that people are still a figure who can reach the sky? Haven't you heard that several central leaders have repeatedly scooped out Huayang Power on the most important news program of the Celestial Empire, "News Express", to talk about things?
The big leaders have said many times, this Huayang power is the pride of our Celestial Empire enterprise, it should be a model for our Celestial Empire enterprise, for such an enterprise, it is to support, to increase preferential efforts, in any field as long as the enterprise has demand, we can give the lantern.
Huayang Power has been set up as such a benchmark, if you are still working against others, aren't you slapping the face of the central leader?
At that time, if you really make people anxious, a phone call will pass, and you may not know how many people will be in vain.
Therefore, the head of the event department in charge of the Tianchao Automobile Association was quite polite to Jin Xiaoqiang, especially when he heard that Huayang Power planned to attend next year's CCC Grand Prix, and also planned to expand the scale of this CCC into CTCC, Tianchao Touring Car Championship.
Huayang Power also plans to inject a lot of money into this event, so that the now half-dead CCC will regain its youth and expand the influence of this event.
Such a company pays for its own money, and comes to the Automobile Association to engage in publicity and events, but it really can be called a high wind and bright festival, such a good thing is not people who take the initiative to put gold on our faces?
If you don't know how to behave and do things, then the officials of the Automobile Association will simply buy a piece of tofu and die!
Don't say anything, Mr. Jin, we fully support your plan, turn on the lights, you can do whatever you want, tomorrow we will call the country's automobile companies to a meeting, but if there is someone who dares to blow up the thorn, you don't need to go out, we will teach him a lesson first...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
